Who's got the balls to say Stephen Curry will be the best PG/SG taken in this draft

[QUOTE=NYK-Bball]
Around 1:40 point.What would you think if he entered the draft at 6'4 6'5? Because it seems like the problem is size and strength.[/QUOTE]
Curry would definitely be a better prospect if he was taller.

Although he shoots very well Curry's release is pretty low. So there may be a struggle to get off uncontested shots at the NBA level. Curry also is not a very strong ball handler or athlete so the lack of size will also hamper his ability to finish at the rim.

[QUOTE=2LeTTeRS]Have you guys watched Curry this year? First off based off watching him this year, I doubt he will have any problem being a point guard in the NBA, and based off his shot-making ability [B]if he is not the ROY I will be surprised.[/B] I can't believe people here are comparing him to JJ Reddick and Boobie Gibson.[/QUOTE]

:roll: then prepared to be surprised

Stephen curry = JJ ReDICK in the pros


Book It

He reminds me of a Devin Harris...

I hope he turns out great. I hope Rubio, Curry, Jennings, Flynn, Teague, Mills, etc are all great point guards or at least rotation for some of them :P

Same skin tone..duh.

[QUOTE=White Chocolate]That's virtually Steve Nash minus the assists and a lower FG%.[/QUOTE]

Actually, it's more like Jason Terry or Rip Hamilton.

I think you understimate the difference between 3 assists and 11 assists...

Also, Curry isn't some scrub. He was a far superior player to Steve Nash in both HS and College.

GTFO out of here. I'm a huge UF fan. Calathes is garbage. He will be nothing but a roleplayer in the NBA.

His handles are decent but some people saying no handles need to watch him more as well as people comparing him to J.J because he can create his shot somewhat.He is also great off screens and off ball.His passing is also better then most people think.If you double your assist averaged from your freshmen year and sophmore year to now in your first move to the PG position with the talent you have you have to be decent at PG.Especially with the amount of shots he takes in college he still averaged 6 assist and he won't take as many shots in the NBA so his guard ability should get better with more passing,better coaches and more talent to finish his plays.

I watched all his games that came on Sports center and the type of shots his team gets that they cant finish makes me wonder how much assist he would average on a team like NC or Uconn who have more weapons on there bench then Davidsons starting lineup.

Sorry for going off topic but i agree with everything you said but those things can be changed.

We'll see I've already bookmarked this thread. Whether I'm right or wrong I'll bump it about a year from now.

You are delusional if you think he will be ROY...

Or you haven't really watched him play or other players in this class.

It's not exactly a "strong" class. This is not my admission that I think Curry will be ROY, Blake is the clear favorite, but Curry's competition will be significantly down from recent years.

Though that is true there are several players outside of Griffen who simply make better pros.

I don't disagree, I just don't think someone is 'delusional' to think that Curry--on the right team--could be a rookie of the year candidate.

How many players get on the perfect team?

For Curry to be successful enough to win ROY he would need to play along side a player like Brandon Roy who can mask Curry's poor handling and average passing skills and lack of defense.

What are the chances that happens?

I know this. I said this on page 1. I just don't know how this is an argument for your cause. So he's done before he's even drafted to you?

Again we'll see how it goes a year from now, I've lived in the Carolinas so I've seen at least 10 games from Curry this year and about 3 or 4 last year. Its crazy to me that people are comparing him to Daniel Gibson who never proved himself to be the caliber of scorer that Curry was in college. This kid has the potential to be a truly special combo guard in this league.

I'm really interested to see how Stephen Curry will turn out in the League.

Sorry but I don't see it either.

Curry non-scoring skills and limited athleticism just leave me thinking he'll fall short of being special. To me Curry's peak if literally everything goes right is Mike Bibby.

[QUOTE=blazerjimmy]I like Curry, but I'd take Tyreke Evans before him in this draft.[/QUOTE]

Him being a good player and rookie of the year are two different things. I mean you do realize Ricky Rubio is in the draft now...

You stay on this kid's nuts.

I got to give you props for consistency. Most people would have moved on by now, but you are still going strong.

I don't know much about Ricky Rubio, so I'm not commenting on him at all. But I will say my views aren't changing just because he's in the draft.

JJ Reddick was an absolute beast in college and he isn't even at Gibson's level now.

A high level of College play does not necessarily lead to a high level of NBA play. Especially when playing from a smaller conference.

[quote=2LeTTeRS]I know this, and again we'll see how it goes.[/quote]

So why the hate on Gibson?

For all we know Gibson with 25+ attempts a game would be better than Curry at Davidson...

I DO!!!!

(blind Stephen Curry homer here)

[QUOTE=Godfather]So why the hate on Gibson?

Because I saw Gibson at Texas, and nothing I saw gave me the impression that he could be a big scorer. Seeing how he's looked in the NBA my mind hasn't changed.

You guys :')

[QUOTE=PleezeBelieve]I just keep getting this sneaky feeling he's going to be equivilant of Arenas on crack.

Great prediction by him but he's nothing like an Arenas on crack! :wtf: :lol

What does the "on crack" version of another player even mean?

wow this guy is very intelligent, knows what he's talking about when it comes to this basketball stuff.

i'd jerk him off in an alley.

This thread is the perfect example of ISH. Hindsight is 20/20 and nobody likes to admit when they're wrong or give credit when somebody is right

I've been chastized for saying:
Wade Peaked in 04
Griffin is a glorified dunker
Bosh will be reduced to a 3rd option player and won't even succeed at that

I think Curry has peaked personally. This is as good as he'll get IMO. I'd bank the franchise on Harrison Barnes and Steph as a second fiddle scoring option a la Garnett/Marbury. I'll take my shots now.....
